In addition to both shows featuring singing/dancing as prominent plot points, the main three girls give off a similar "feel". The casts of both are also really charismatic - while the plot in both shows isn't great, it's fun just to hang out with these girls and see the scrapes they get into. Recommended for anybody who wants a sweet, simple good time, though Mermaid Melody has far more romantic/ecchi overtones.

R2 and 5D's are very similar in tone: they place priority on entertainment and wild aesthetics. Simultaneously both darker and odder than the previous installments of the franchises, the two shows present a wide variety of characters and are always trying to outdo themselves: every episode must be more flashy, more extreme, just plain MORE than the last one. They're fun to watch just to see what kinds of crazy stunts the characters will perform or what kind of didn't-see-that-coming plot twists will happen next. Recommended to those who just want to sit down and be taken on a colorful, crazy ride.

Director Kazuki Akane seems to have a pool of themes (and a pool of voice actors) he enjoys returning to, except he puts a slightly different spin on the themes each time they crop up. Birdy and HGJ had similar feels from the start: both featured an eccentric pair trying to track down criminals and bring them to justice, and the style of the dialogue felt similar as well, due to longtime Akane collaborator Hiroshi Ohnogi working on the scripts. In the second season of Birdy, however, the similarities multiplied -- voice actors were even brought back from HGJ to play similar roles on Birdy. While both shows stand perfectly well on their own, it's interesting to see the same themes explored in different fashions on both. Fans of the style of one show should get a kick out of seeing a similar style in the other show, especially as it's a feel not often replicated in anime: what matters most in an Akane show is what ISN'T said, and both HGJ and Birdy are excellent examples of this.

...then you might like Baccano! add

Not only do Baccano! and Heat Guy J have nearly identical Japanese voice casts, the two shows share many of the same themes: showing groups of eccentric characters (often criminals, and especially the mob) living their lives, all while backed up by a quirky soundtrack and very snappy dialogue. Both shows having psycho males named Clair(e) is a plus....
